A7
A you might say, "Hey, I lost my sense of humor"

Well, I'm quite surprised I didn't lose it sooner Why waste my breath on anything less than talk so trivial? As a man I ran out of material [Chorus]

Dm
Why did the chicken go across the road

Dm
To get to the other side?

Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline

Dm
And whoever said, the grass always grows

Dm
Greener on the other side

Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline

[Verse 2]

A7
The good ol' days I was known to wear a smile

              G5 A5   G5 A5               D/F#
Like all good things they've gone out of style

A7
I will admit, usually a quick with I found me amusing

What used to be, no longer are amusing [Chorus]

Dm
Why did the chicken go across the road

Dm
To get to the other side?

Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline

Dm
And whoever said, the grass always grows

Dm
Greener on the other side

Dm
I'm still waiting for the punchline

A7                         G5 A5  G5 A5                      A7
It's nothing that you said,       no, nothing that you did

A5                     G5 A5 G5 A5  G5 A5 G5 A5  D/F#    A7
It must have been a bad joke       that's gone over my head

What me worry, another tragedy Ladder plus time, equals comedy [Chorus]

Dm
Why can't I get to the other side?

I'm still waiting for the punchline And whoever said, the grass always grows Greener on the other line I'm still waiting for the punchline [Outro] Dsus2 Dm E7 G D9 Dm E7 G D D9 Dm E7 G (x10) and fade
